Introduction
- Wednesday through Friday
- 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM ET
Every great suit starts on the wrist. In three focused days, students take a programmable smartwatch apart in code: its screen, its motion sensors, its wireless link. Then they build their own apps and wearable AI features on top. It's a fast-paced lab for experienced students who want to design technology people actually wear, and the watch is theirs to keep.
Day 1Inside a Wearable
A tour of the hardware on the wrist: display, motion sensors, battery and Bluetooth. Students flash their first custom firmware and design a watch face of their own.
Day 2Sensors, Gestures & Smart Apps
Reading motion data in real time and turning it into gestures the watch recognizes. Students build interactive apps that respond to a flick of the wrist and talk to a phone or laptop.
Day 3AI on Your Wrist & Showcase
Connecting the watch to AI: voice commands, smart notifications and on-device predictions. Students finish a wearable experience of their own design and demo it to the group.
What parents say
A week is a short time. These are the families who noticed it lasting past the Friday.
Renee A.Parent of Maya, 13“She came home on the Tuesday talking about prompts and context windows, and by Friday she had built a study helper for her own homework. I did not expect that in five days.”
Kevin O.Parent of Isaac, 14“He has always been the kid who takes things apart. This was the first time someone handed him a machine and told him that was the point.”
Marcus T.Parent of Dev, 15“The instructors treated them like junior colleagues rather than kids at a summer program. That is what made it stick.”
Dan W.Parent of Nora, 11“We have a printer at home now and it has not stopped running since. Everything on my desk is something she designed.”
Alicia R.Parent of Theo, 12“He flew it around the yard the evening he got back, then spent the weekend changing the code so it would fly a square.”
Sam H.Parent of Iris, 16“I was nervous about a hacking camp, honestly. Within a day I understood it was the opposite. She can now explain to me why our home network was wide open.”
Priya N.Parent of Anika, 15“She had already done the intro course elsewhere and was bored. This one actually pushed her: tolerances, multi-part assemblies, real CAD.”
Tasha B.Parent of Elliot, 13“Small enough that the instructor knew what my son was stuck on before he asked. You do not get that at the big camps.”

Questions parents ask
If yours isn’t here, write to stem@intellectualpoint.com. Replies take up to a day, usually less.
Who are the camps for?
Students aged 13 to 21. Intro Program camps, and the ones called “Introduction to”, assume no prior experience. Year 2 and Year 3 camps build on earlier ones, and each spells out its prerequisites on its own page.
Are the camps in person or online?
Online, and live. Each morning is taught over video by an instructor, with helpers in the call. The hardware is real and ships to your home before camp, so the work is hands-on even though the room is virtual.
What are the hours?
9:30 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday; a shorter week says so on its camp's page. Three hours of guided work a day. The rest of the day is theirs.
What does my child need at home?
A laptop with a reliable internet connection, a flat and well-lit table with room to spread a kit out, and a way to take notes. The camp’s own hardware and software are covered.
What if they miss a morning?
Every session is recorded and posted to the workshop portal, alongside written step-by-step guides for each day, so a missed morning can be caught up the same afternoon.
Do we keep the equipment?
Yes. The kit ships to your home and stays there afterwards. The 3D printing camps in particular end with a working printer on the desk.
Is it safe?
Hardware camps open with a safety briefing before anything is unboxed (hot parts, moving parts, batteries, the lot), and every build step is done together on the call. The security camps run entirely inside safe virtual labs set up for learning.
My child has a disability. Will this work for them?
The sessions are designed to be fully accessible for students with visual impairments, autism, and other disabilities. Tell us what would help when you enquire and we’ll plan for it before the first day.
How do I book a place?
Tell us who’s coming and which week through the enquiry form, and we’ll hold a place while you decide. Seats are limited to what one instructor can actually teach, so the popular weeks fill early.
How do I reach you?
